Catching up.......

Has been awhile since I posted....sorry!! Was in Oregon for Jamie Mills-Price's summer seminar (sooooo much fun!!!!!) and busy busy busy since I got back....
First two pics show a cute little baby shoe I painted, adapted from a pattern by Marie Provost (one of Terrye French's painting "friends")......I think it turned out great!! Working on a couple of others, both holiday and regular designs.
Last pic is of some painted softballs, from a Terrye French "Painting With Friends" pattern....a really different surface to prep and paint on (reminder to self----do NOT try and spray paint a softball......) but in the end they turned out adorable....large size softballs will be selling for $9.95 at the upcoming shows, and the smaller size for $8.95-9.50. Working on more patterns, including some holiday designs. My problem is sooooo many ideas and patterns to paint and so little time to do it in.....

Have more pics to post in the coming days of our projects from Jamie's seminar, additional pieces I finished before Oregon, and some awesome Christmas things and cool "junk" I found at the yard sales.......

A different look......

If you have been to my blog before, you will notice it has a very different look......due to an unexpected problem with the source where we got our "background", it had to be changed and we couldn't find something comparable on such short notice......

This is just a temporary look, I hope to have the new "look" done in a few weeks...my "webmaster"/son-in-law is really busy at work right now so the changes will take some time....

Today's post show two projects I finished recently....first is a rustic sign on a slat from an old crate....very simple and "prim"

Second is adapted from a new pattern from Terrye French's "Painting With Friends" group.....this was done on a framed rusty corrugated tin piece....a bit tricky to paint on, but a very unique and totally primitive surface.

Haven't been able to update the calendar, but I have a show upcoming at the end of March....it is a Country Creations show at Pickering Barn in Issaquah, March 31st thru April 2nd....my first time at one of Sandy's shows and I am really excited!! I am actually taking vacation next week to work on more projects :)

Stay tuned for more updates!!
